- Abstract
We know students use mobile technologies. We expect they will want to use them more. But how does having constant access affect the ways students think about, and use, information? In the fall of 2011 we gave six OSU undergraduates iPads and asked them to take a series of photographs that illustrate how their devices fit into their lives. In this session we will hear (and see) what they had to say.
